# 1.0.0 (Latest)

## Docs

- [Overview](https://docs.nvidia.com/nim/metadata-api/1.0.0/about/overview.md): Read an NVIDIA NIM microservice's profiles, hardware requirements, and capabilities over HTTP, in one request, before you download the container.
- [Architecture Overview](https://docs.nvidia.com/nim/metadata-api/1.0.0/about/architecture-overview.md): Understand how published NIM profile metadata reaches HTTP clients and supports hardware selection before deployment.
- [Ecosystem Overview](https://docs.nvidia.com/nim/metadata-api/1.0.0/about/ecosystem.md): Understand when to use tag-level metadata, NGC repository information, GPU lookup, and NIM deployment documentation.
- [Core Concepts Overview for NIM Metadata API](https://docs.nvidia.com/nim/metadata-api/1.0.0/about/core-concepts.md): Understand profiles, GPU targeting, and the serialization rules that determine how to interpret a NIM Metadata API response.
- [About Getting Started with NIM Metadata API](https://docs.nvidia.com/nim/metadata-api/1.0.0/get-started/get-started-overview.md): Choose your path through the NIM Metadata API documentation, whether you are evaluating hardware fit by hand or building an automated integration.
- [NIM Metadata API Prerequisites](https://docs.nvidia.com/nim/metadata-api/1.0.0/get-started/prerequisites.md): Confirm what you need before your first NIM Metadata API request, including the base URL, the identifiers for a NIM microservice, and metadata coverage expectations.
- [Quickstart for NIM Metadata API](https://docs.nvidia.com/nim/metadata-api/1.0.0/get-started/quickstart.md): Make your first NIM Metadata API request, read the response, and understand the two shapes a profile can take.
- [Choose a Profile for Your Hardware](https://docs.nvidia.com/nim/metadata-api/1.0.0/guides/choose-a-profile.md): Follow a deterministic procedure for selecting a NIM microservice profile that fits the GPUs you have, using only the NIM Metadata API.
- [Notes for Automated Agents](https://docs.nvidia.com/nim/metadata-api/1.0.0/guides/automated-agents.md): Forward-compatibility rules, caching guidance, and response-size expectations that keep a NIM Metadata API integration working across schema changes.
- [Reference Overview for NIM Metadata API](https://docs.nvidia.com/nim/metadata-api/1.0.0/reference/reference-overview.md): Find endpoint forms, response field listings, related NGC endpoints, and current limitations for the NIM Metadata API.
- [Endpoints for NIM Metadata API](https://docs.nvidia.com/nim/metadata-api/1.0.0/reference/endpoints.md): Reference for the three NIM Metadata API request forms, their parameters, and the status codes and error envelope the API returns.
- [Response Fields for NIM Metadata API](https://docs.nvidia.com/nim/metadata-api/1.0.0/reference/response-fields.md): Reference for every field in the NIM Metadata API response body, along with the serialization rules that determine which fields appear.
- [Related Endpoints and Registry Search](https://docs.nvidia.com/nim/metadata-api/1.0.0/reference/related-endpoints.md): NGC endpoints that return container-level NIM microservice details, resolve GPU PCI identifiers, and support catalog discovery by GPU type.
- [Current Limitations of the NIM Metadata API](https://docs.nvidia.com/nim/metadata-api/1.0.0/reference/limitations.md): The current constraints of the NIM Metadata API, including partial coverage, unstandardized throughput figures, and planned field-shape changes.
- [Troubleshooting NIM Metadata API](https://docs.nvidia.com/nim/metadata-api/1.0.0/troubleshooting.md): Resolve unexpected status codes, missing fields, and GPU matching problems when you query the NIM Metadata API.
- [Resources Overview for NIM Metadata API](https://docs.nvidia.com/nim/metadata-api/1.0.0/resources/resources-overview.md): Find the glossary and the external catalog, support, and reference resources for the NIM Metadata API.
- [Glossary for NIM Metadata API](https://docs.nvidia.com/nim/metadata-api/1.0.0/resources/glossary.md): Definitions of the profile, hardware, and identifier terms used throughout the NIM Metadata API documentation.
